Default RE: Wax as a "lubricant"? (bow setup)

ORIGINAL: GMMAT

So is it a lubricant or not? And....if it isn't a good idea for aD-loop.....why is it a good idea for serving in a nocking point or a cord?

Think about what you are doing with a d loop.... You are constantly torquing it by using it to pull back your peep so it is inline with your eye. It also takes a seriousbeating from string occesilation (sp?)after each shot.

Waxed serving material that is cinched down onto you bows center serving or pulled thru your string and then served to lock down a rests linkage system is apples and oranges compared to a loop...... They do not go thru the abuse a d loop does.

I do however wax my d loop..... I just make sure it gets no where near my knot bases and string serving where the loop is cinched down.

Also, I never said it is a true lubricant, I said it acts as one, especially when you wax your serving and then wax your loop before you tie it on. Wax on wax = slippery surface
